Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lifting mechanism for beds and the like, and in particular to a lifting mechanism which allows to lift and lower by means of one or more lever systems the frame supporting the bedspring on which the mattress is laid.
  • Lifting mechanisms for beds or stretchers (see e.g. US 3373453) , disclosing the features of the preamble of claim 1 are known to comprise a frame under which two pairs of mutually and crosswise hinged legs are pivoted so that they can extend downwards or retract upwards.
  • These known mechanisms which for example serve for lowering the bed when it is not used, involve the disadvantage of being provided with complex devices and/or fixing means for preventing the accidental lowering of the mechanism, which can be engaged or released by manually operating under the frame itself.
  • the mechanism according to the present invention allows to lower and lift-in an easy and quick way the frame on which the mattress is arranged. Furthermore, thanks to the handle which it can be provided with, the mechanism according to the present invention presents the advantage of comfortably lifting and lowering the frame by operating onto a member easy to use arranged above the same frame.
  • Another advantage of the mechanism according to the present invention consists in that it can comprise a control lever system and an auxiliary lever system mechanically connected to each other, so as to make the mechanism stability in the lifted position easy, without compromising the easiness of its change to the lowered position, and vice versa.
  • a further advantage of the mechanism according to the present invention consists in that, while in the lowered position it can stably rest on a plurality of support feet, in the lowered position it can automatically rest on a plurality of wheels which make its displacement easy, for instance under another bed.
  • the mechanism can be provided with a plurality of pulling springs which facilitate the change from the lifted position to the lowered one, and vice versa.
  • the mechanism according to the present embodiment of the invention comprises in a known way at least one rectangular frame 1 in which means 2, for instance a bedspring, suitable for supporting a mattress 3 (shown with a thin line) are fixed.
  • a pair of railings 4, 4' for containing mattress 3 is arranged at the front and rear ends of frame 1.
  • a front crossbar 5 and a rear crossbar 6, arranged about halfway between the center and the front and rear ends, respectively, of frame 1, are further fixed to the same frame.
  • An end of a pair of outer legs 7, 7' provided with support feet 8 at the opposite end is pivoted in a horizontal eyelet made in a pair of hinges fixed under the front crossbar 5.
  • a crossbar 9 connecting legs 7, 7' and supporting a pair of pivoting wheels 10 slightly raised with respect to feet 8 is also arranged near the latter free end of the same legs.
  • An end of a pair of inner legs 11, 11' provided with support feet 8 at the opposite end is further pivoted in a horizontal eyelet made in a pair of hinges fixed under the rear crossbar 6.
  • a crossbar 12 connecting legs 11, 11' and supporting a pair of pivoting wheels 10 slightly raised with respect to feet 8 is further arranged near the latter free end of the same legs.
  • Each of the outer legs 7, 7' is mutually pivoted to one of the inner legs 11, 11' so that all the four legs 7, 7', 11 and 11' can extend downwards or retract upwards.
  • the two pairs of legs 7, 11 and 7', 11' therefore are mutually hinged crosswise so as to form two pairs ofX.
  • legs 7, 7', 11 and 11' suitably depends on at least one control lever system A comprising a pair of levers 13, 13' which are connected by a crossbar 14 and have one end pivoted to one of the outer legs 7, 7' near the support feet 8 and the opposite end pivoted to a pair of tongues 15, 15' soldered to a transverse bar 16 which, hitting under frame 1, prevents the mechanism from lowering under a determinate level.
  • Bar 16 is fixed between a pair of curved arms 17, 17' pivoted to a pair of plates 18, 18' soldered between frame 1 and the rear railing 4'.
  • a tubular handle 19 transversely arranged astride frame 1 are fixed in a removable way with two pairs of bolts to arms 17, 17' so that a user, by lifting or lowering handle 19, can rotate bar 16, levers 13, 13' and therefore lift or lower legs 7, 7', 11 and 11'.
  • the lifting of legs 7, 7', 11 and 11' can be facilitated by a pulling spring 20 fixed between frame 1 and lever 13'.
  • the control lever system A is further preferably connected to an auxiliary lever system B through a longitudinal rod 21 having one end pivoted to a tongue 22 soldered to crossbar 14 and the other end pivoted about in the middle of a tongue 23 soldered to a crossbar 24 fixed between a pair of levers 25, 25' pivoted under the front crossbar 5.
  • the free end of a further pair of levers 26, 26' pivoted to the inner legs 11, 11' near crossbar 12 is pivoted to the free end of the pair of levers 25, 25'.
  • Levers 26, 26' once they pass a dead-point consisting of the alignment with levers 25, 25', hit against crossbar 12 and prevent the lowering of the mechanism.
  • a pulling spring 27 can be fixed between the free end of tongue 23 and the longitudinal rod 21 for dampening the final lowering movement of legs 7, 7', 11 and 11'.
  • Figure 3 shows the mechanism according to the present invention during the lowering. It is to be noted in particular how levers 25, 25', 26 and 26', operated by rod 21, have passed in this position the dead-point consisting of the mutual alignment and do not impede anymore the lowering of the mechanism.
  • Figure 4 shows the mechanism according to the present invention completely lowered. It is to be noted in particular how support feet 8 in this position are slightly raised with respect to wheels 10, which therefore allow the easy displacement of the mechanism when it is in the lowered position. It is further to be noted how handle 19 rests on mattress 3, so as to reduce to the minimum the overall height of the lowered mechanism. If mattress 3 is not present, for instance during the transport, it is possible to dismount handle 19 from arms 17, 17' for further reducing the overall height of the mechanism according to the present invention.
